[Glaucus]

Where is the stig?

In the windows of the building. Top rightish.

 

[richyb_safc]

I wanna see this drunk guy!!

 

[antijoke]

Hahaha, brilliant. Wonder why he is stood in the corner.

 

[kaiowas]

Where is the stig?

Thats what i though as well at first, i span 360 trying to see him but didnt. You have to zoom in on the office windows and he's standing up

Can you request to have offices/houses removed from google street view? for privacy/security?

Yes

 

[NathanE]

We had the Google cars come on site at Lotus and go around the test track a while back. Still waiting for them to put our area live though.

Really? Cool

 

[steve-h]

i heard something about face + no. plate recognition, all gonna be blur'd apparently.

 

[willhub]

That's going to look even more suspicious if you request to have your house removed and they replace it with a black blob instead.

You'll have all manner of weirdos round after that to see what the fuss is about.

 

[ScarySquirrel]

I have never seen one. Although someone I work with said he saw one in the McDonald's drive through just around the corner a few weeks back.

Not really as listening to the radio a lot of people were concerned and would be requesting it.

^ but as google stated, people can see no more than if they just wandered down your road and stared at your house directly. It's publicly available information.

 

[willhub]

So are people going to start covering there houses in blobs of black in real life too? and wearing some devices that blur out other peoples faces?

surely that camera would get caught up on the height barrier you have to go through

I've just found the Google car's reflection in the mirrored windows of our computer services building. Looking at the area here they must have been around during September last year. My house is not on there yet, so I'm keeping an eye out for them
